Résumé
Objective:The paper aims to analyze achievements and problems of interdisciplinary collaborative research between medicine and engineering carried out jointly by the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao and Yanshan University, to provide further reference for municipal hospitals.Methods:The data of scientific research of the medicine-engineering interdisciplinary collaboration in past 8 years were analyzed with specific focus on the characteristics, academic level and discipline distribution.Results:Academic level of the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao was significantly improved through such medicine-engineering interdisciplinary scientific research collaboration, especially in disciplines such as orthopaedics, rehabilitation medicine, medical imaging that are closely related to engineering disciplines.Conclusions:Deficiency of scientific research resources faced by municipal hospitals can be mitigated by medicine-engineering interdisciplinary collaboration with universities, and medicine-engineering interdisciplinary collaboration can be a possible way to improve academic level of municipal hospitals.
